In Divison 2 Clarrie Squire Millicent had 35 points to win and then Peter Bateman, Millicent counted out Brenton Pitt, Kingston on 33.

The prized Ross Orchard Trophy went to Tony Bishop and Colin Rex with the ball rundown to 30 or better and NTPs went to Ray Mathews, Alan Schultz, Brenton Pitt, and Colin Wright.

Tim Kenny owned up to an ‘airy’ and then it was noted that Darren Earl four putted the 18th joining Grant Stephenson who four putted the 9th.
